"Alice held out her hand for the prince to kiss. He seemed reluctant to let it go. 'I'm afraid you can't keep it Your Highness,' she said. And when he did not understand: 'My hand. I may have use for it still.'"

Comment and Response:
(R) In the passage the author used humor to get the characters through an awkward situation. By the prince being reluctant to let go of Alice's hand it created a awkward moment. Alice then eases the awkwardness between the prince and herself by making a lighthearted joke that doesn't make the prince feel bad. I can relate to that because when I get into awkward situations I use a joke to usually ease the awkwardness, although it does not always work.
